Wouldn't you just love to be out on the water somewhere?

Who would ever think there's heart-pounding white water rafting right off an exit? Just take a short break and cool off.

The boats can drive over the water vegetation without harming anything. They can inch very very slowly to glimpse gators, osprey (hope you get to see Ozzie and Harriet), peregrine falcons, armadillo or anhingas - or fly at high speeds across the open stretches of water.

GA - Wildlife on Water GA Exit 49: If you want a break in the middle of your trip, why not go out in a canoe or kayak on a river, cy press swamp or salt marsh?
